Amazing experience! - This was such an incredibly fun activity to do in Tokyo. The venue in Asakusa was a bit far from where we were staying (~45 min by subway) but it was so worth the trip. The chicken hot pot was delicious and the entertainment was great while also being educational. The sumo wrestlers, MC and all the servers were so friendly and welcoming. I would consider this a highlight of our one-week trip to Japan and would highly recommend to anyone interested in sumo and great food!

Super cheesy but you should go!! - Family of four with kids 11, 9 and this was my daughter’s favorite event in Tokyo! The first hour is explaining some of the rules and training which I thought was very informative. The second hour is challenges from the audience which I could have skipped. The food and service was great. You get a souvenir bag and a photo. I’m glad we went!!
